Scenario

When business partnerships strain close friendships

My best friend and I started a business together two years ago and now we're successful enough that we're arguing about money and direction in ways that feel like they're poisoning our friendship. We both avoid bringing up the hard stuff because we're scared of losing what we built, both the business and each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Success has introduced competing interests between two people who began as allies, and fear of loss is preventing the honest conversations that could preserve both relationships.
